presents data from 90 libraries—corporate, public, law, academic,
state, and nonprofit—about their database licensing practices. Some of
the findings are: The mean number of independent licenses for
electronic content held by the libraries in the sample tripled from
2000 to 2007; consortium purchases accounted for a mean of 30%; and
participants reported spending an average of $7,300 on dues and fees to
consortia.Primary Research Group. (2007). The Survey of Library
